Rough cut of the my first song created on FL Studio (fruity loops). Background is inspired from Dev-D’s emotional attyachar – the voice overs are a mash up from various YouTube videos of political leaders. Inspiration for this happened after a trip to Vidarbha, Maharashtra, where we met Vijay, a TISS grad, who was working with farmers at a grassroot level. Vijay helped explain the governmental hypocrisy and corruption that eventually forces farmers go to extremes.

Song is incomplete – but whatever – listen to it – Political Attyachar by Tanvi Srivastava (click to listen).

(Mixing was done on Sony Acid pro. After  many, many attempts on Audition failed. Adobe n Vista are somehow realllly uncompatible. Mixing is to be refined. I got too sick of it.)

Then, today I felt very inspired to make a Dev D inspired poster for Political Attyachar. Made on photoshop, messed around overlays/levels/colour filters – results above n below! BJP don’t be angry – freedom of expression!

First reaction: Quite the cool!

Second reaction: Is it a good movie? Is it a bad movie? Is it even a movie movie???

Let the Ram Sena judge. (Hahah, I can fall off my chair thinking of Mutalik and his chaddi-wallahs watching the movie. Paro to naked Dev: Arre, bade baal hai! Hahah.)

The movie definitely meets my cool-ness quotient requirements! Hence, ‘quite the cool’. Just look at the poster – uber-cool photoshopping. Sunglasses, smoke and lips. What could be cooler?  It reminds me a lot of the Almost Famous poster. Sunglasses, lips and music.

Speaking of music. Emotional attyachar. Wah! Emotional attyachar managed to get a conservative Bangalore crowd hooting in their seats. That’s some achievement.
